وَعَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا وُضِعَتِ الْمَائِدَةُ فَلَا يَقُومُ رَجُلٌ حَتَّى تُرْفَعَ الْمَائِدَةُ وَلَا يَرْفَعْ يَدَهُ وَإِنْ شَبِعَ حَتَّى يَفْرُغَ الْقَوْمُ وَلْيُعْذِرْ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ يُخْجِلُ جَلِيسَهُ فَيَقْبِضُ يَدَهُ وَعَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ فِي الطَّعَامِ حَاجَةٌ» رَوَاهُ ابْنُ مَاجَهْ وَالْبَيْهَقِيُّ فِي شُعَبِ الْإِيمَانِ

The Prophet (ﷺ) was brought a dish containing Tharid and said, "Eat from its side and not from the middle, for the blessing descends in the middle of it." [Reported by al-Arba'a. This is the wording of an-Nasa'i. Its chain of narrators is Sahih (authentic)].

وَعَنْ اِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ; { أَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-أُتِيَ بِقَصْعَةٍ مِنْ ثَرِيدٍ، فَقَالَ : "كُلُوا مِنْ جَوَانِبِهَا, وَلَا تَأْكُلُوا مِنْ وَسَطِهَا, فَإِنَّ اَلْبَرَكَةَ تَنْزِلُ فِي وَسَطِهَا }…
